[Verse]
D                C                           G
Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you
     D                    C                G
It's late September and I really should be back at school
  C                G           C              D
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used


[Chorus]
   Am                      Bm     Am     D
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
    Am               D            Am                   D
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
     Am                 D                  G
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts


[Verse]
    D                     C                   G
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
    D                   C                       G
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
  C                   G         C                       D
I laughed at all your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax


[Chorus]
   Am                     Bm      Am     D
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
    Am               D            Am                   D
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
    Am                     D                 G
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without


[Verse]
D                  C                G
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
        D                       C
But you turned into a lover and mother
                 G
what a lover you wore me out
C                        G
All you did was wreck my bed,
           C                      D
and in the morning kick me in the head


[Chorus]
   Am                     Bm      Am    D
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
    Am               D                Am                 D
You led me away from home, 'cause you didn't want to be alone
     Am                       D              G
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried


[Solo 1]

[Verse]
   D                 C                      G
I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school
    D               C                        G
Or steal my daddy's cue make a living out of playing pool
   C                           G          C               D
Or find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helping hand


[Chorus]
   Am                 Bm             Am    D
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
           Am                      D
You made a first class fool out of me,
           Am                  D
but I'm as blind as a fool can be
     Am                  D           G
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
